I have tried both places: the Café and the Brasserie.
Cafe: plate was dirty, when I told the waitress not even an apology. Finally salad was good, but very very poor service.
Brasserie: I have been twice.
First time few days after the opening: food was excellent and very interesting menu.
Second visit, May 2008, not really appealing on the menu; my choices were:
- Octopussy-seafood cocktail with marinated asparagus. 15 euros. Overpriced and octopus was chewy, so it was not even well cooked.
- Seabass ( was the “plate de jour”) 33 euros: very good presentation and good sauce, wonderful spinash. However the filling of dried tomatoes really unbalance the rest of the tastes.
-Lemon parfait and licorice ice cream. 9 euros.The parfait was too acid, but the licorice icecream was excelent.
Poor menu selection, overpriced for the poor delivery of the food. An example of good ingredients but bad combination or not getting the point of cooking or of taste
Service was really slow.
Moreover, I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that after paying over 120 euros for a dinner for 2 people, you have to pay for your coat!!
